[edit] Understand

Bananas and other agricultural products remain the staple of this lower-middle income country's economy. Although tourism and other services have been growing moderately in recent years, the government has been ineffective at introducing new industries. Unemployment remains high, and economic growth hinges upon seasonal variations in the agricultural and tourism sectors.

[edit] Climate

Tropical; little seasonal temperature variation; rainy season (May to November).

[edit] Landscape

Volcanic, mountainous. Highest point: Soufriere volcano (St Vincent) 1,234 m

[edit] Get in

[edit] By plane

The largest airport is E.T. Joshua Airport just outside of the capital of Kingstown. Most flights in and out are relatively local, mostly flying to nearby islands such as Barbados, and Saint Kitts.

[edit] By boat

The islands have many docks and bays, including two large enough to accommodate a cruise ship. Despite this, very few cruises stop in the country and the vast majority of travelers come to the country by airplane.

[edit] Get around

The Island is relativlly small, but the mountainous landscape makes it difficult to get around the island. The main highways run along the costs and as such it is nessicarry to drive around the whole of the island to get from one side to the other. In terms of public transportaion the island is served by a large number of privatly owned vans that act as a bus service. Driving is on the left.

[edit] Talk

The main language on the islands is English. Due to being a former member of the British Commonwealth, British spellings are more common then American ones.

Hurricanes are an annual risk. The La Soufriere volcano on the island of Saint Vincent is occasionally active, but a sophisticated advance warning system is in place and resulted in zero casualties in its latest eruption in 1979.

The US government suggests that hepatitus A and B shots be given to anyone traveling in the Caribbean, however there are no major health risks in the country.
